El Cid


Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar was a Castilian nobleman and military leader in medieval Spain. He was called El Cid by the Moors and El Campeador by Christians. He is the otherwise real but made legendary national hero of Castile. He was born in the year 1040 in Vivar del Cid, a town near the city of Burgos and he was died in the year 1099 in the city of Valencia after conquering it.

1. Life and career




El Cid was born circa 1043 AD in Vivar, also known as Castillona de Bivar, a small town about six miles north of Burgos, the capital of Castile. His father, Diego Laínez, was a courtier, bureaucrat, and cavalryman who had fought in several battles.

1.1 Marriage and family


El Cid was married in July 1075 to Alfonso's kinswoman Jimena Díaz.
Together El Cid and Jimena had two daughters and a son. Their daughters Cristina and María both married into royal families; Cristina to Ramiro, Lord of Monzón, grandson of García Sánchez III of Navarre via an illegitimate son; María, first to a prince of Aragon and second to Ramón Berenguer III, count of Barcelona. El Cid's son Diego Rodríguez was killed while fighting against the invading Muslim Almoravids from North Africa at the Battle of Consuegra (1097).
El Cid's own marriage and those of his daughters raised his status by connecting him to the peninsular royalty; even today, most European monarchs (including the current King of Spain) and many commoners of European ancestry descend from El Cid.


1.2 Service under Sancho II



As a young man in 1057, Rodrigo fought against the Moorish stronghold of Zaragoza, making its emir al-Muqtadir a vassal of Sancho. Al-Muqtadir, accompanied by Castilian troops including El Cid, fought against the Aragonese. The party would emerge victorious; Ramiro I was killed and the Aragonese fled the field. One legend has said that during the conflict, El Cid killed an Aragonese knight in single combat, thereby receiving the honorific title Campeador.
When Ferdinand died, Sancho continued to enlarge his territory, conquering both Christian and the Moorish cities of Zamora and Badajoz. When Sancho learned that Alfonso was planning on overthrowing him in order to gain his territory, Sancho sent El Cid to bring Alfonso back so that Sancho could speak to him.

1.3 Service under Alfonso VI



Sancho was assassinated in 1072, as the result of a pact between his brother Alfonso and his sister Urraca. Since Sancho died unmarried and childless, all of his power passed to his brother Alfonso.
Almost immediately, Alfonso returned from exile in Toledo and took his seat as king of Castile and León. He was deeply suspected in Castile.

1.4 Exile



In the Battle of Cabra (1079), El Cid rallied his troops and turned the battle into a rout of Emir Abdullah of Granada and his ally García Ordóñez. However, El Cid's unauthorized expedition into Granada greatly angered Alfonso, and May 8, 1080, was the last time El Cid confirmed a document in King Alfonso's court.
At first he went to Barcelona, where Ramón Berenguer II refused his offer of service.

1.5 Moorish service



After being rejected by Ramón Berenguer II, El Cid journeyed to the Taifa of Zaragoza where he received a warmer welcome.

That kingdom was divided between al-Mutamin (1081–1085) who ruled Zaragoza proper, and his brother al-Mundhir, who ruled Lérida and Tortosa. El Cid entered al-Mutamin's service and successfully defended Zaragoza against the assaults of al-Mundhir, Sancho I of Aragón, and Ramón Berenguer II, whom he held captive briefly in 1082. In 1084, El Cid and the Moorish armies defeated Sancho of Aragon at the Battle of Morella near Tortosa.



2. Recall from exile



Terrified after his crushing defeat, Alfonso recalled El Cid. It has been shown that El Cid was at court on July 1087; however, what happened after that is unclear. El Cid returned to Alfonso, but now he had his own plans. He only stayed a short while and then returned to Zaragoza. El Cid was content to let the Almoravid armies and the armies of Alfonso fight without his help, even when there was a chance that the armies of Almoravid might defeat Alfonso and take over all of Alfonso's lands. The reason El Cid did not want to fight was because he was hoping that both armies would become weakso that would make it easier for him to carry out his own plan which was to become the ruler of the Kingdom of Valencia.

2.1 Conquest of Valencia


Around this time, El Cid, with a combined Christian and Moorish army, began maneuvering in order to create his own fiefdom in the Moorish Mediterranean coastal city of Valencia. Several obstacles lay in his way. First was Berenguer Ramón II, who ruled nearby Barcelona. In May 1090, El Cid defeated and captured Berenguer in the Battle of Tébar. Berenguer was later released and his nephew Ramón Berenguer III married El Cid's youngest daughter Maria to ward against future conflicts.
Along the way to Valencia, El Cid also conquered other towns.
El Cid gradually came to have more influence on Valencia. Officially El Cid ruled in the name of Alfonso; in reality, El Cid was fully independent. The city was both Christian and Muslim, and both Moors and Christians served in the army and as administrators.


2.2 Death


El Cid and his wife Jimena Díaz lived peacefully in Valencia for five years until the Almoravids besieged the city. El Cid died June 10, 1099.[8] His death was likely a result of the famine and deprivations caused by the siege. Valencia was captured by Masdali on May 5, 1102 and it did not become a Christian city again for over 125 years. Jimena fled to Burgos, Castile, in 1101. She rode into the town with her retinue and the body of El Cid. Originally buried in Castile in the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña, his body now lies at the center of Burgos Cathedral.



Interview


Hello, I´m very happy of being here with you. If you don´t mind, I would like to ask you some questions.
Hello! Of course you can ask me whatever you want without any problem.

OK. Thanks! First, I would like to know when did you started working for King Sancho II.
Well, in the year 1057, when I was 14 years old, I fought against the Moorish in Zaragoza and at that battle Al-Muqtadir became my emir, and he was King Sancho II vassal.

Oh thats very interesting! Thanks. Secondly, I would lie to ask you how did you started working for Alfonso VI and why?
That´s a good question. Sancho was assassinated in 1072, when I was 29 years old. He died because of a pact between his brother Alfonso and his sister Urraca. Since Sancho died, all of his power passed to his brother Alfonso. So started working for him. But in the Battle of Cabra I left my troops fighting and I went to Granada and when Alfonso got informed of this he got andry and in the year 1080, I finished my service to Alfonso.

Ok Thanks! But, What did you do when you finished working for Alfonso VI?
First, I went to Barcelona, but Ramón Berenguer II refused my service so then, I went to the taifa of Zaragoza. The kingdom was divided between Al-Mutamin and his brother Al-Mundhir. I started working for Mutamin defending Zaragoza from the assaults of Al-Mundhir, Sancho I of Aragon and Ramón Berenguer II.

Finally, What do you think was the most important conquest that you have done?
I am really proud of my conquest of Valencia because I joined Moors and Christians, I defeated Ramón Berenguer II. Then Ramón Berenguer III married with my youngest daughter, Maria to avoid more conflicts and after a lot of obstacles and after conquering a lot of other towns along my way to Valencia, finally, I conquered Valencia and Muslims and Chritians started living there peacefully.

OK! Thanks a lot for your time with me and for aswering all my questions. See you soon!
No problem. Bye!
